Does anybody have an exhaust manifold laying around for a 1996 Ski Nautique (351W)? Riser is not needed.

PCM engine, same as this one (disregard the yellow circle):


Let me know!

Got two that were previously used. Looks like you are in Europe. The freight will likely exceed the value of the manifold, if I were going to pay that much freight I would purchase new manifolds.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I'll be in America in January. So shipping will be within the US (Tx) and then I can take them home afterwards.

For how much would you let these manifolds go? I assume you don't want to sell them seperately, do you?

I have bought and installed plenty of used manifolds. I have been burned once or twice with manifolds that have internal leaks. It would seem to me that the risk of getting a bad part (or even just the shorter remaining lifespan of a used part) is exceptionally high when you consider the costs of shipping such a heavy item overseas. Might be worth the extra $100 or so to pony up for a new one in this case. Jmho.

Probably true what you're saying there.
Knew ones will run somewhere around 200 dollars. Seems quite expensive to me.

I'm a little worried too about having a used manifold with an internal leak or (small) cracks. But if I was to buy a used one from someone on this forum, that would make me a little less worried. So that's the route I'm going I guess.

Already been in contact with Mountain Man, since he had 2 of them laying around. So we should be good to go for next season as far as that manifold is concerned .

Btw, luckily, I won't have to ship the item overseas, since I'll be in America soon and then I can just bring it back with me.

My point was that if you buy a used manifold now, and it turns out to be damaged (or at a minimum, doesn't last as long as a new one), it'll be up costing you more $ in shipping and taxes to get another sent overseas than the extra cost of a new manifold will run you now. I can't imagine a good set of used manifolds (with risers) going for much less than $200 ($100 each) so I'm not sure how much you'd really be saving anyways. Seems risky, but just mho!

ditto.... I purchased 2 used manifolds a while back from someone who was not on this site, one turned out to have a crack in it, and it was legitimately small, and could have gone unnoticed, the second was serviceable, but I think shipping was in the neighborhood of $75 dollars (in the states).. I could have bought a new manifold for the price that I paid for 2 used ones and shipping... certainly would have been a better deal for me to just get new.


live and learn I guess
